Introduction:
Fundraising for church missions can be both exciting and challenging. Whether you're raising money for youth group trips, international outreach, or local service projects, engaging the congregation and creating a sense of community around giving is key. GivingBlox provides a fresh, interactive way to fundraise that brings fun and excitement to your efforts.
Fundraising for Individual Missionaries
When your church has multiple members participating in mission trips, managing individual fundraising goals can feel overwhelming. With GivingBlox, you can easily create separate fundraising games for each participant. Imagine each short-term missionary having their own InstaBlox game or Outgive Me challenge. Congregants can support specific missionaries, helping them reach their goals while fostering personal connections between givers and participants.
Group Fundraising Made Fun
If creating multiple games feels like too much, GivingBlox offers an alternative: run a single game for the entire group. Use InstaBlox to create a collective fundraising effort where each donation contributes to the mission trip pool. To add a competitive twist, consider setting up a leaderboard or "blocks" that represent different missionaries. Donors can choose which missionary to support by unlocking blocks in their name. This friendly competition encourages participation and keeps excitement high.
Why Interactive Fundraising Works
Traditional fundraising methods like bake sales and raffles are great, but interactive online games draw in younger church members and those who prefer digital giving. Games like Giving Blocks and The Great Reveal transform fundraising into an engaging activity, allowing congregants to "play" while supporting a meaningful cause.
Steps to Get Started
- Plan Your Fundraising Goals – Determine how much each missionary needs and set clear targets.
- Choose Your Game Type – Decide between individual fundraising games for each participant or a collective group game.
- Promote Across Church Channels – Use social media, Sunday bulletins, and email newsletters to encourage participation.

Make Missions Fundraising Memorable
GivingBlox makes fundraising more than just a financial goal—it becomes an experience that unites your church in supporting those called to serve. Whether through friendly competition or collaborative giving, your congregation can rally behind missions in a way that is impactful, creative, and enjoyable.
